Welcome...!!

Welcome to In-f-Organic Chemistry blogspot.

 Goal
Purpose of this blog is to learn and share interesting things about chemistry!


Name
The name is a combination of:

  • Organic Chemistry
  • Inorganic Chemistry
  • In Chemistry
  • Info Chemistry
So these are going to be our tags! 

Tags
Let's see what you will find in each tag...

In chemistry: it's about the news in the chemistry world
Info Chemistry: it's about general information about chemistry, can include analytical chemistry, physical chemistry, biochemistry, and many many others
Inorganic chemistry: it's about Inorganic compounds, periodic table and inorganic stuff
Organic chemistry: it's about organic compounds, mechanisms and organic stuff

Penguinone: this is how chemistry community honors Penguins!

What is it? Penguinone is an organic compound with the molecular formula C10H14O. It's name comes from the fact that it's 2-dimensional molecular structure resembles a penguin. The systematic name of the molecule is 3,4,4,5-tetramethylcyclohexa-2,5-dienone. Properties Density: 0.9±0.1 g/cm3 Boiling Point: 215.0±30.0 °C (at 760 mmHg) Vapour Pressure: 0.2±0.4 mmHg at 25°C Enthalpy of Vaporization: 45.1±3.0 kJ/molFlash Point: 79.1±19.5 °C Index Of Refraction: 1.470 Polarizability: 18.1cm3 H- NMR spectrume of Penguinone References: wikipedia.com ~ chemspider.com ~ nmrdb.org

Helonium... the first molecule of the Universe!

What is Helonium? Credit: Mondolithic studios Helonium or Helium hydride is a molecular ion consisting of a helium atom and a hydrogen ion (HeH + ) and it is considered to be the first molecule of the universe. It is viewed as a protonated helium and it is the lightest heteronuclear ion. Discovery Helonium was first produced in the laboratory in Berkeley in 1925, under vacuum conditions with the aid of electricity by injecting protons of known energy into a rarefied mixture of hydrogen and helium. Although it is stable in isolation, it cannot be prepared in bulk because it is extremely reactive. Properties It is the strongest known acid with pKa -63 (for comparison hydrochloric acid pKa is -6.3) It is isoelectronic with molecular hydrogen H2 Its covalent bond is dative with a length of 0.772 A 80% of the electron charge is closer to the helium nucleus than to the hydrogen nucleus Unlike the helium hydride ion, the neutral helium hydride molecule HeH is not stable in the ground state De...

Limonene...a majestic odor in nature!

What is it? Limonene is a colorless liquid hydrocarbon classified as a cyclic terpene. Where can we find it? It is a major constituent in several citrus oils (orange, lemon, mandarin, lime, and grapefruit). Name Limonene takes its name from the lemon, as the rind of the lemon -like other citrus fruits- contains considerable amounts of this compound, which contributes to their odor. Properties IUPAC name: 1-Methyl-4-(1-methylethenyl)-cyclohexeneMolecular Formula: C10H16 Average mass: 136.234Melting Point: -74.35 °C Boiling Point:176 °C Chiral rotation: 87°-102° Isomerism Carbon number four of the cyclohexene ring is chiral. Limonene therefore has two optical isomers. Chiral centres are labelled as R or S using IUPAC nomenclature. But we can found it as d or l or most commonly with (+) or (-). The two enantiomers have identical chemical properties but different odours. R-Limonene smells like orange and S-Limonene smells like lemon. Enantio...
